Such "
onomastic intervention" into the critical toponymy might have revealed some new contexts, relationships, and correlations between the dynamic urban toponymic landscapes and political power.
However, in the Estonian and Finnish
onomastic tradition (see, e.g., Ainiala, Saarelma, Sjoblom 2012 : 101-102; Onomastika termineid (11)), the term commemorative name (Estonian puhendusnimi) has been restricted to names (usually officially) assigned with the purpose of perpetuating the memory of a person or event.
However, the assumption that Gad was a personification comparable to Greek tyche or essentially a late development in West Semitic religion is not borne out by a closer examination of the available

Next, French scholar Damien Bador examines Tolkien's conscious use of names and naming, in "From 'The Silmarillion' to The Hobbit and Back Again: An

It is a name that evokes to some the dogged fieldworker who, as head of the Scottish Place-Name Survey, travelled around the country interviewing individuals about local toponyms; for many it evokes the pioneering folklorist who was the first and only person to be president of both the American Folklore Society and the Folklore Society; still others see in its
